6. Cryptograms — straight from the tales and poems of Edgar Allan Poe

These cryptograms use simple substitution ciphers. Each letter in the cryptogram stands for one letter in the alphabet. The spaces between the letter groups in the first two cryptograms divide each into words. The third cryptogram is a special challenge. All of the solutions to these cryptograms come from Poe's tales or poems.
